“Four of the five senses are in your head, and it’s through our senses that we interact with the world,” MSU Denver history Affiliate Professor Beverly Chico told The Denver Post in an October interview. Chico, author of “Hats and Headwear Around the World: A Cultural Encyclopedia,” has a collection of more than 600 hats, including the silver Miao hat pictured here. “It’s through the face and head that emotions are expressed.
